What Makes the Festival Special?

The Paris Jazz Festival is unlike any other jazz event in Europe. Instead of grand theaters, the performances take place under open skies in the Parc Floral amphitheater, blending music with nature. Each weekend features a different theme, with line-ups showcasing everything from smooth jazz and Afro-Latin rhythms to experimental fusions.

Visitors can expect:

  • Free Concerts: Accessible for all, perfect for families and casual visitors.
  • Workshops: Interactive sessions introducing children and beginners to jazz instruments.
  • Family-Friendly Programs: Educational shows designed for kids to enjoy music playfully.
  • Picnic Atmosphere: Guests often bring blankets, relax in the grass, and enjoy jazz in a casual setting.
